Canning day with my mom 🍅🍎

Whole Beefsteak tomatoes from my garden, plus homemade applesauce and apple juice from apples my mom and I picked at a local orchard, all sealed up and ready for winter. (That big heart-shaped Beefsteak weighed in at 1 lb 10.6 oz! 🍅)

Growing and preserving food has been part of my life since I was little. I grew up with my mom, dad, and six siblings (yes, seven kids!), and we grew fruits and veggies on our lot in a regular neighborhood. It wasn't a farm, just half an acre, which my mom lovingly nicknamed "hell's half acre." 😂 With that many mouths to feed, every bit of it got put to work.

Now we get to fill the shelves together again, and that's my favorite kind of tradition. 🧡

Do you can or preserve anything at home? Tell me what's on your shelves! 👇

Testing some seeds from my mom 🌱 Armenian cucumber is her favorite variety, so I'm checking how well her saved seeds sprout before they go into Ginny Seed packets. They're tucked into their cups under the grow light now. Armenian cucumbers are actually a type of melon, with long, pale, ribbed fruit that's mild, crisp, and never bitter.

See the little beads on the soil? Those are beneficial nematodes, which eat fungus gnat larvae. If you grow plants indoors, they're my top recommendation for keeping gnats from taking over your home!

"Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it.'" Genesis 1:11 (NIV)

A banana squash… for scale? 🍌📏

Meet my pink banana squash: 9 lbs 12 oz and about 15 inches long. Impressive, right? Well… it's actually just average. 😂 Some banana squash can weigh as much as 50 lbs and grow up to 4 feet long. Internet memes, take notes.

Despite the name, it's a winter squash. Keep it whole in a cool, dark, dry spot and it'll store for a long time, so you can enjoy the harvest well into winter. When you're ready, chop it up and cook it like any other winter squash: roast it, mash it, or toss it into soup.

Swipe to see it on the vine, on the scale, and next to the tape measure 👉

What would YOU use for scale? Tell me in the comments 🧡

Where do Ginny Seed seeds come from? 🌻🌱

Every packet has a story. Some seeds I save from plants I've grown myself. Some come from fellow hobby gardeners, friends who love sharing what thrives in their gardens as much as I do. And some come from my own relatives, passed down through the family like a favorite recipe.

These beauties are from a friend's garden: a deep, dark hollyhock, bright red-orange dahlias, and a sunflower showing off its fall colors, with seed heads drying for next year. 🧡

That's the magic of seed saving. One garden shares with the next, and every season the circle keeps growing.

The garden is winding down, and the squash patch saved the best for last! 🍂 This butternut is just one of this year's haul, along with pink banana, spaghetti, and acorn squash, plus more zucchini than we knew what to do with. Our favorite part of harvest? Saving seeds from the best plants so they can grow again next year. Which squash should we feature next?

Meet our resident genius. 🐔 Our Barred Plymouth Rock flew right over every barrier I put up… and then couldn't figure out how to get back out of the tomato patch. She also made it very clear she did NOT want my help. 😂 Backyard chickens: endless entertainment, occasional double yolks.
